Goodnight from Paris | Jane Healey
2 posts | 1 read
In Nazi-occupied France, an American film star takes on the most dangerous role of her life in a gripping novel about loyalty and resistance, inspired by a true story, from the Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Secret Stealers. Paris, 1939. Hollywood actress Drue Leyton, married to Frenchman Jacques Tartière, lives as an expatriate in love. But when her husband is dispatched to Brittany to work as a liaison for the British military, Drue finds herself alone with her housekeeper, adrift and heartsick in her adopted city. With her career and fame forty-five hundred miles away, Drue accepts an opportunity that will change her life forever. Befriended by seasoned wartime journalist Dorothy Thompson and urged on by political operative Jean Fraysse, Drue broadcasts radio programs to the United States. Her duty: shake America from its apathy and, as Nazis encroach and France is occupied, push for resistance and help from the US. As Drue and Jean fall under suspicion, Hitler sends his own message: when Drue's adopted country is conquered, she will be executed. In a Paris that is no longer safe, Drue's political passion is ignited. She's prepared to risk anything to fight the enemy no matter how dangerous it gets--for her, for everyone she loves, and for everything she's fighting for.

I listened to this book on audible. It was a great story. The narrators voices and accents were awful to the point of being funny. But the story was so good I didn‘t even mind.

Healey gave me a greater appreciation of how the years under Nazi control impacted the people, living under constant fear for themselves and their loved ones.

There is a lot of suspense, some surprises, and even some humor. Loyalty and friendship are major themes in this story. I loved this book from beginning to end. I highly recommend it!
